Executive Transition Services
TACS has developed a team of qualified, experienced nonprofit executive leaders to provide interim services for nonprofits going through leadership transitions. We can help you find an Interim Executive Director, search for a new Executive Director, or help if your organization is going through a time of transition.
Interim Executive Transition Services
If you have lost or are about to lose your Executive Director, TACS can provide:
- Assessment of interim executive management needs and priorities
- Interim Executive Director services for 3 to 6 month periods of leadership transition, sabbaticals, closedowns or mergers
- Support for both the Interim Executive Director and the board throughout the interim period
- Assistance with development of executive job descriptions, search strategies, hiring processes, and selection criteria
- Assistance with development and implementation of staff and board strategies to support the transition to new permanent leadership
"The Interim Director Program was a lifesaver for us. TACS was able to respond quickly and oversee a closedown situation in a way that was both thoughtful and attended to the thousands of details of shutting down a nonprofit."
